Software decay is a very real and endemic problem for us all. So how can you break from the cycle of build, atrophy, replatform, repeat? Join us to hear about how REA Group are fighting software entropy - including measurement, process, company wide objectives, and ultimately lowering total cost of ownership and cognitive load through our platform product strategy.
